Meet Notes

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The track & field teams head to the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio, to compete in the two-day Big Ten Championships. The teams are looking to compete for Purdue's first conference title since 2001. The women were second a year ago, while the men finished 12th.

The meet will be broadcast live online on BTN Plus and BTN2Go. Friday's broadcast will begin at 5 p.m. ET on BTN Plus. Saturday, session 1 will be on BTN Plus at noon, while session 2 will go live at 1:15 p.m. on BTN2Go.

Friday's action is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. with the heptathlon 60-meter dash. Track events will begin at noon Friday and wrap up at 7 p.m. Saturday's action will begin at 10 a.m. with the heptathlon 60-meter hurdles. Track events will begin at 12:30 p.m. and wrap up with the awards presentation at 4:50.

The 21st-ranked women's team looks to defend three event Big Ten titles - Devynne Charlton in the 60-meter hurdles, Janae' Moffitt in the high jump and the women's 4x400m relay. The women also have four individuals who were silver medalists a year ago with Savannah Carson in the long jump, Charlton in the 60m dash, Brionna Thomas in the 400m dash and the women's distance medley relay team.

On the men's side, the Boilermakers look to replace most of the team scoring from a year ago. Freshman Jaret Carpenter currently leads the Big Ten in the 5,000-meter run. The men's 4x400m relay team earned All-America honors a year ago and currently sits fourth in the league. The team includes Kinard Rolle, who is fourth in the conference in the 400m dash, Kyle Webb, Malcolm Dotson, who is fourth in the Big Ten in the 60m dash and sixth in the 200m, and Shawndail McLaren.
